As I've mentioned before, my wife is taking a boot camp-style exercise class. Every Thursday, they have a timed 2.5 mile run. This isn't 2.5 miles around a track. This is 2.5 miles around a lake with lots of hills and turns.
When she started 5 weeks ago, her time was ...

A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and I went to see Madagascar. When we got to the theater, I bought a bag of Kit Kat Bites for us to share. While we were waiting for the movie to start, I opened the bag. I gave one to her, then ...

Last night we gave the kids baths. As my wife was getting my son into his pajamas, she noticed that we didn't have a clean set. We had a shirt, but no shorts. My wife was worried that he'd be cold at night, but the shorts don't usually cover more ...

This morning we took a brief inventory of our ...

On Father's Day, my aunt gave me a framed black and white picture of a man and a young boy.
My aunt asked, "Do you know who they are?"
I instantly recognized the man as my grandfather. I paused when I saw the boy. He kind of looked like me ...

I had to buy a new VCR last week. Ours was 9 years old and on its last leg. Since we own 2 Tivos, the only purpose the VCR serves is for the kids to watch their videos. We probably have about 50 VHS tapes.

At work, the windows were washed from the outside last week. As they were doing it, I thought to myself, "This is such a waste of money...is this really necessary?" I closed my blinds while this was going on, so a) I wouldn't be startled by the window washers, and ...

I took the week of June 6th off from work, but before I could officially start my vacation, I had to go into the office for a few hours Saturday morning to deploy the latest version of the software application that I work on to the production environment. I left ...

The first two seasons of Moonlighting were just released on DVD. I don't think I'll buy it, but I'll put it on my Amazon.com wishlist. I love this show. The show aired from 1985 - 1989. When it first came on the air, I was 12 years old. That ...
